About this property
Spanish Farmhouse Retreat | Gardens + Fireplace
A storybook Spanish farmhouse stay in Santa Barbara — adobe fireplace, fenced gardens, and resident chickens — 3 bedrooms sleeping 6, minutes from beaches and downtown. Casa de Isabelle is the stay guests describe with the word "magic": a standalone Spanish-style cottage tucked into a working farm property, where mornings start with hens clucking outside the fence and evenings end beside a real adobe fireplace. It's a hidden, peaceful world of its own — and then, ten minutes later, you're at the beach.
THE SPACE. Warm Spanish farmhouse character in every room: textured walls, honest wood, and that adobe fireplace anchoring the living space like something out of an old California novel. A full kitchen handles real family cooking, in-unit laundry keeps longer stays easy, and three comfortable bedrooms sleep six. Fenced front and back yards give kids room to run — and front-row seats to the chicken coop, which reliably becomes the trip's most-photographed attraction.
WELLNESS HERE. Farm-stay calm is its own therapy — hen-watching with morning coffee, countryside quiet, garden air, and slow dinners by the fire. Premium linens and the full Chosen arrival experience included.
THE LOCATION. Santa Barbara's quiet farm belt, minutes from the beaches, dining, and shopping of the city — rural feeling, urban convenient.
GOOD TO KNOW. The property is near the airport; occasional plane noise passes overhead.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Stevens! We’re so happy to hear that the location, comfortable setting, and amenities worked well for your family wedding weekend in Santa Barbara. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we truly appreciate your kind words about our communication and the cleanliness of the home. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime!
This home was absolutely lovely. Very clean with everything thoughtfully laid out. We enjoyed being by the bike path and hiking. Would love to stay here again! The only suggestion we had for improvement would be to add 2 outdoor chairs to the back patio to sit out in the afternoon sun.

Hi Sonia, I'm very sorry you felt that way and I know you expressed concerns about your booking price after you paid. All guests are able to see our full charges prior to booking, and we offer a few add-ons such as cold plunges and saunas if guests are interested during their time with us. We apologize if that didn't land well for you, but hope you had a wonderful time at our home, it's one of our favorites!
